I don't play a real world simulator. I play World of Warcraft. Where I am a Goblin, named after an explosive, that hurls balls of arcane "fuck you up" at internet dragons/ogres/whateverthehellmaloriakis.

My guild downed Rag for the first time on 25 man (had him down >1 month ago on 10 man cleanup raids) last Thursday so we are fairly happy with the timing of this. It means that we beat the normal modes when they were still challenging and although we would have rather tried hard modes when they were hard, they will likely still pose us a challenge. It will also mean that the bosses that we still do on normal we can kill faster and have more time for heroic attempts =)

What is this feather that the blue is talking about? I've never killed this boss and I'm curious.

Alysrazor "molts" in her fight, and if you pick up a feather, it lets you cast while moving and move faster. If you get three, you can fly and attack Alysrazor in the sky - it's a key mechanic of the fight.
